At the last tournament i was at, This young female, actually womens alberta champion at the age of 16 was against a male roughly of the same rating, she blundered early and was down a rook and a pawn!!! almost resignable, but for some reason she stayed in, as the game grew on, the male player became more aware of his surroundings, because as her being the female, all of the male individuals were watching there table and eventually started to crowd around. As she enjoyed the attention, the fellow did not, and started to sweat alot lol...all of a sudden he destroyed his own position and lost a knight! Then still up played very horribly tactfully, and barely was looking at the board for the most part paying attention to everyone around him, and bam, the young lady walked a pawn up and snatched a queen and won the game, the man was so upset...hahahah lol...anyhow...i believe that in the past and to date, some males are very superior in chess to the majority of females who play, but as it turns out, the female population that plays chess competitvely is also alot smaller, and as it grows we will have more players like judith step up and surprise the world.

“Every game can be extremely hard”, assured, before admitting one of her training steps: “I am preparing against my opponents one by one with both colors”.
Tips for this competition? “To be very clever, to save energy for critical moments of the tournament, fighting spirit, stability, and to be very strong in mind because the pressure will be high”.
Hungarian Polgar remembered having good times in previous journeys to Argentina and has a special remembrance of Najdorf and his family.
Transcription of the 10 questions and answers exchanged with Judit Polgar:
1) What are your expectations about this important competition?
I try to prepare the best way I can for this World Championship and to play the best chess I can.
2) How do you evaluate the way of play of this competition? (Double round-robin)
It is going to be an extremely difficult and exhausting event from mental and physical point of view. After all it is a world championship and everybody I think has a very serious preparation already before the event.
3) Which are your favourite players among your seven opponents? And who will be the toughest?
Generally I think it is clear to me that the toughest opponents will be the highest rated players but I am an experienced player and I know that every game can be extremely hard. All the players come to Argentina to win and fight.
4) How are you preparing yourself for the WCC Argentina 2005?
I am preparing against my opponents one by one with both colors and of course a lot on my repertoire. Also the physical training is very important part of my preparation.
5) Do you think that you will be coming being in your best competition level?
Definitely it is my goal to be in my best shape and I hope I can be.
6) Which will be the "tips" to win the competition?
To be very clever, to save energy for critical moments of the tournament, fighting spirit, stability, and to be very strong in mind because the pressure will be high.
7) Will this tournament be very different from all the others you have already played?
In one hand it is not going to be different because I have played in many strong competitions in the last decade, but in the other hand it will absolutely different. I will prepare much more than for other events. Also there will be much more tension than in a regular tournament.
8) Will the spectators be seeing "new things" in the way of playing?
Well, I am pretty sure that all the participants are going to prepare surprises.
9) Why should spectators don’t miss this championship?
Because it is a historical world championship and now that Kasparov have retired and Kramnik is playing unstable in the last times, people will consider having a World Champion again, even if some of great players are missing for this event.
10) Name the first things that come into your mind when you think of Argentina.
When I go to Argentina I have good time or very good time while I am there, hehe. I remember Miguel Najdorf and his kind family.
